Inquiry victim needs your help

A bank account has now been set up for Steve’s Legal Defence. The account is with the TD Canada Trust in Cornwall, Ontario.
Contributions may be made

(1) By cash.

Deposits may be made in person at any TD Canada Trust branch in Canada. Deposit monies to Steve Parisien account, number 2312-6303030.

(2) By cheque or money order.

Make cheques payable to Steve Parisien.

The account number must appear somewhere on the cheque of Money Order. I suggest you write on the back: “For deposit only to account number 2312-6303030”

Mailing address for the TD Canada Trust in Cornwall:

Please pull out your cheque book. This criminal process which was initiated in the Weave Shed is going to cost Steve at least $30,000!

Every single dollar adds up and helps. If you can afford a few dollars twice a month, then take that approach. If you can afford $100, or $200 or $1,000 or more right now, wonderful.

Get your cheque book and envelopes out right now. Fill out the cheque. Drop your contribution into the mail in the morning.

Or stop in to a Toronto Dominion Bank tomorrow.

Don’t forget that Steve is on his own here. For all of the inquiry talk of helping and healing sexual abuse victims Steve is totally on his own. There’s no helping for Steve. Justice Glaude simply threw him to the wolves. In unusually and almost alarming short order (for Cornwall) Steve was charged -and not only charged but publicly frisked and handcuffed in broad daylight in his own driveway and then whisked off in the cruiser!!! What healing can come of this legal travesty I can not begin to imagine!!!!

I believe it goes without saying that the days ahead leading to trial in a criminal court will not be much easier for Steve and his family, but at least if the financial concerns are in hand he can direct what energy he has to mounting his defence, retaining and directing a lawyer, keeping his family strong and trying to hold his head high in these trying circumstances.

Steve’s next court appearance is I believe at the end of the month. Let’s get some dollars in the account. He needs the wherewithall to retain and pay a good criminal lawyer. Please contribute what you can to help him as he works his way through this outrageous and disgraceful outcome of the Cornwall Public Inquiry.

And, a thought: write the account number and bank address down on a piece of paper. Put it in your wallet so it’s handy – when you tell family and friends about the Steve Parisien Legal Defence Fund you have the necessary information right there at your fingertips.

Please spread the word – any way you can. Send an email to everyone on your address book and urge them to contribute – give them the account number and the address of the TD bank. Make sure they know to make cheques payable to Steve Parisien.

Another thought. You people in Cornwall and vicinity – put up a poster at the corner store, or in the mall. Put an ad in the local newspaper. Get the information in to the small community papers in the towns, villages and hamlets around Cornwall. Call the information in to the various media outlets. Write a Letter to the Editor.

In short, get the word out: Steve Parisien, a sexual abuse victim and victim of the Cornwall Public Inquiry needs our help.

…it’s not terribly difficult. I use a “Feed Reader” called Feedly. It’s free to use, although there is a paid option. Feedly offers apps for phones and tablets as well, which will all sycnchronize
These instructions apply to the desktop (PC / Mac) version:
* Set up an account at feedly.com. When your account is ready, you’ll see an “add content” button in the top left corner. Click it.
* Type in or paste the URL of this site (www.theinquiry.ca/wordpress).
* Two results will come up. One is for the posts to the site (which Sylvia makes); another is for comments on posts (made by anyone). You can add those to your Feedly feed.
Once you have done this, new posts and comments will be fed to your Feedly page each time there’s something new. You can read them there and mark them as read afterwards, or click through to the actual post.
You can do this with almost all websites. It’s a great way of getting through lots of information in a short time.
